About The Croft
Here at The Croft, we provide residential care for older adults in the heart of Amersham, Buckinghamshire. We are proud to have received a "Good" rating from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the genuine commitment of everyone who works here to getting things right for the people in our care. We support a wide range of needs under one roof. Alongside general residential care for older people, we have real experience in supporting those living with dementia, as well as individuals with physical disabilities and visual or hearing impairments. We also welcome younger adults who require residential care, and we offer respite stays for those who need a short term period of support, whether to recover after a hospital stay or to give a family carer some time to rest. What matters most to us is that every person who comes through our doors feels genuinely at home. We take time to understand each individual, their routines, preferences, and the things that bring them comfort and enjoyment. Care planning here is a conversation, not just a process, and we involve residents and their families as much as they would like to be involved. Amersham is a lovely part of the world, and we make the most of our surroundings where we can, supporting residents to stay connected to the local community and to the people who matter to them. If you are considering The Croft for yourself or for someone you love, we would always encourage you to come and visit us. A conversation over a cup of tea tells you far more than any website can. We are happy to answer questions, show you around, and help you work out whether we are the right fit. Please do get in touch.
